U SPRECKELS again donies that his sugar refinery has been absorbed by the tenst. ‘The denial, at least, is not trust- worthy, whatever may bo the fact rola- tive to the sugnr king. — Powkns would doubtless now bo glad to withdraw his letter of congratulations to the World-Ierald. When that sheet was booming the alli- anee enndidate Governor Boyd was sup- posed to be leading a forlorn hope. Joun H. SHERMAN HOAR, the young congress- man !r::m Massachusetts, is very much like a young congressman from a wostern stite. He reulizes that his congressional career is limited to two years and he desires to make the best of his opportunities PADDOCK’S pure food bill has been lomporarily side-tracked for the pure printing bill. In the minds of United Btates senators there is move irregular- ity in the make-up of the printing ex- penditures than in the composition of misbranded food products or drugs. THE council by a vote of 16 to 2 de- cided to stand by the contract for city advertising which had been awarded to THE BEE more than a week ago. Under this contract the city will save at least 3600 during the present year a3 compared with the rates paid for 1891. THE insurance companies of Chicaugo have probably soundod the death knell t skyscraping buildings. An addi- tional premium 18 to be charged on all buildings towering above 100 feet. The new insurance trust is not in business for the benefit of its health. Kxecuses for advanced rates ave likely to bicome frequent. KIDNAPING children and holding them for ransom is a recently revived relic of the dark ages, Unhappily it has been altogether too profitable. The Kausas City villains got their money and the wealthy father recoived back his child. The more rocent case in Connecticut has not turned out quite so woll, but the denousment has not yet occurred. T yroposition to increase the pay of postal clerks, which has been referred by the house committee on postofices to the postmaster general for his opin- jon, will undoubtedly recoive the ap- proval of the latter. Mr. Wanamaker has shown a hearty interest in tho employes of the railway mail service, and under his administration that ser- vice hus been brought toa very high standard of efficiency. This is due not altogether to the introduction of sound business principles and insistence upon thorough discipline, but to the encour- agement of application, interest in the work, and a proper rivalry in the attainment of eMciency and proficiency. The postmaster general 18 fully aware of the arduous work performed by postal slerks, and also the perils of the se vice, and no other head of the Post- office department has spoken so much and 8o strongly in behalf of the employes in this service, It is therefore safe to say that Mr, Wanamaker will approve the oroposed Increase of salaries for postal clerks. Mg, E BERT WELSH, corresponding socrotary of the Indian Rights associn- tion, and a well known worker in the cause of the Indian, in a communication to Tk BEE, requests this newspaper to oppose the removal of the southern Ute Indians from their present reservation in Colorado to one in Utah, He urges on behalf of the Indians that their present reservation contuins much arable lund and the one to which they would be re- moved is mountainous and suited only for grazing and hunting. As the Indian office recommends that the lands of the present reserve bo allotted to the In- dians in severalty, and this would leave the residue for the whites, Mr. Welsh regards the effort in congress to romove the red men as a violation of faith and unnecessary to the welfare of Colorado, the Indians being peaceably disposed. THE BEE is not well enough advised upon the mevits of the controversy to take sides for or against removal, but at first blush is disposed to the opinion that the allotment proposition is a fair com- promise which should take the question out of congress entirely. A GAIN FOR THE COURT. The supreme court of the United States has not at all times commanded the fullest confidence of the people. There have been periods in its history when it has seomed to bo largely in- fluenced by partisan - views and osts, and othor times when it appeared to bs more friendly to monopsly than to the public welfire—to the wealthy corporations than to the paople. Bafore the rebellion the charge of partisanism against the suprema court was common It was then dominated by men who had loarned law ana morals under tho shadow of slavery, and were thoroughly imbued with the doctrine of state rights in most extreme form. After the war there was introduced into the teibunal a different class of man— bronder in their viewsand more national in their nspirations, They may not have beonsuperiorintellectually to some of their predecessors, but they were frec from the restrictive influences of the old regime, Phe suprome court grew in popular respect and confidence. The senso of security which it ought to be possibleto feel at all times and in all circumstances rogarding the highest judicial tribunal in the country became general. But there ensued a period of distrust. The socond legal tender decision caused a loas of confidence, and for some time the supreme court was not vdel by a large part of the people s boing irre- proachable. Some of the subssquent ap- pointments to the conrt, unmistakably due to politieal or sectional conside tions, nlso had an unfavorable effect upon the public mind. The uppirent favor shown to the money power and to corporations was another cause of dis- trust. Thus for ono reason or another the suprems tribunal has for many yeurs failed to command the constant and un- questioning confidence of the people. The decision of the court in the most important case it has passod upon in ro- cent yeurs—tho Boyd-Thayer cuso— ought to go far toward restoving public confidence in the tribunal, so far as nny suspicion of partisanism may have been its held against it. As a leading republican journal of the e observes, that deci- sion will be regarded illustrating the supcriority of that grent tribunal to par- tisan influences. The court is composed at present of five associato justices, who wero appointed as republicans; and of a chief justice and two associnte justices who wereappointed as democrats. There was 1o dissenting opinion regarding the citizenship of Mr. Boyd. The ropub- lican members of the court weve unani- mous in the opinion that when elected to the office of governor of Nebraska Mr. Boyd wus a citizen of the state and of the United ates. They did not all agree as to overy proposition establish- ing his citizenship, but they were a unit in the opinion that his claim was ade- quate and complete. Grant that there was no distinetively political or partisan question involved in this o, still it will hardly be denied that partisan considerations might have influenced the decision. They did not do so, and the fact is a gain for theclaim of the supreme court to popular confi- dence. THE MARKET-HOUSE PROPOSITION. A markethouse has besn a long-felt tin Omaha. That is acknowledged by all parties not dgirectly interested in the traffic in vegetables, meats, poultry, game and edibles raisea by the farmer and truck gardener. But while tho re- tail grocers asa class have heretofore opposed aud defeated all market-houso projects they have really stood in their own light. Omaha never can hope to become a great manufacturing center until she can place the factory man and factory woman in a position to reduce the cost of living. Factory people in Omaha must receive higher wages than are paid in New England or Pennsylvania unless they ean have cheaper living in Omaha than that class of workers can procure in the east. Omaha is in the heart of the meat pro- ducing region and in & most prolific agricultural soction. It stands to reuson that meats, vegetabl butte eggs, should be cheaper than at nt points that draw the bulk of their meats and provisions from Omahw and Nebraska. Now assume that the retail grocers’ trade with working peo- ple would be materiaily reduced by pub- lic marketa, it is almost certain that the dealers would move thun make up for this reduction in sales by the purchases made by mill and factory owners an d their salaried employes. In other words, cheap living for working people will largoly incroase the number of our factories and that will stimulate all other branches of business—conse- quently improve tho retail trade in staple goads and largely incroase the sales to the middle and wealthier classes. The establishment of market-houses would also tend to stimulate truck gar- dening and fruit raising in our immodi- ate neighborhood and mike sure that our population will always have an abundantsupply of vegetables and fruits, There is no doubt that the right thing for Omaha would be to build and super- vise her own market-houses. Other wostern cities derive a handsomo reve- nue from market-houses. But if Omana is not in position to build her own mar- ket-house she should do the next best thing and let it b undertaken by pri- vate enterprise, providing always thuat the market-house privileges are coupled with restrictions as regards market stall charges, which should be no higher than the rates now charyged at St. Paul, Minneapolis and Kunsas City. It is doubtful whether the city has a right to exempt from taxation market- houses owmed by private parties. At any rate the city would have no right to guasantee such exemption so far as county and state taxes are concerneod. —— PREPARING FOR ARBITRATION. ‘Lhe British and the American Bering sea commissioners are in Wushington for the purpose of prevaring reports of their investigations to be submitted to the board of arbitration. It appears from what has been disclosed that the commissioners of the two governments reached entively different conclusions as to the result of their observations, taken of course from esseutially differs ent points of view. This was to huve | been expected, but what will be the inter- | THE OMAHA offect upon the arbitration? Obviously it must b perplexing, and it is possible that the arbitrators may find it neces sary to ask the two governments to agroe upon an entirely disinterestod commission to visit the sealing grounds and report the situation. This would necossitate a delay of perhaps another year, but this would be better than the failure of arbitration by reason of the ircoconcilable character of conflicting facts prosented by the commissioners who_ have investigated the state of affairs in Bering sea. With two equaliy responsible statements before them, showing conditions wholly different, it would seem that the arbitrators would be compelled to put both aside, since they could not with fairness and impar- tiality discredit either. But the char- noter of the information to be suppiied by thess commissioners is important, and it may therefore yet be found nec- essary to send out an entirely disinter- osted commission to obtain it before arbitration can procesd upon a trust worthy knowledge of the facts of the situation. The present arrangement between the of the United States and n for the protection of the al will expire May 1, and the sealing season will open that month. It is con- codod at Washington that the arbitra- tion cannot be concluded in time to bo effective during the coming season, and steps are to be taken at once to secure & renewal of the arvangemept. Thero will probably be no difficulty in accomp- lishing this, It is to be presumed that the British government is not less anx- jous than our own to prevent the indis- imiuate slaughter of seals, pending a full and final settlement of tho mattors in controve and if so that govern- moent will agree to continue the modus vivendi now in force, with perh: such additions or modifications as oxperience has shown o bo desirable. If this should be done at ones neither govern- ment would find it necessary to keep so large a force in the sealing waters as was required last senson, and a consider- uble expense would thus be saved. As the British government hus agreed to make good to the Dominion sealers any losses incurred from the operation of the modus vivendi it is especially interested in giving them timely warning of a v newal of the arrangement. It is not un- like!y that it will by at least a year be- fore the Bering sea question is finally disposed of, but there is no loager any danger of its being a cause of serious trouble between the United States and Great Britain. —e THEATRICAL RATES TOO HIGH. The railway managers in their efforts to make the interstate commerce law as unpopular as possible manage to con- strue it wherever possible into a bur- den upon the communities. In themat- of theatrical rates cities west of Chi- go are made espacially to suffer. In- terpreting the provision which is in- tended to prevent discrimination in pas- songer faros aa a prohibition of special one-way or round-trip rates, the batter class and. larger theatrical companios are forced to abandon the usual circuit which includes St. Paul, Minneapolis, Omaha, Lincoln, St. Joseph and Kunsas City. Omaha being on the route to San Francisco, where stands of from two to six weeks can be made with profit, suf- fors less from this discrimination than her northern neighbo but in several casos the high rmlroad fare has de- prived our amusement-loving people of some first cluss attractions. The theat- rical business has been in a depressed condition for two or more voars and the prospects for next season are not suf- ficiently bright to warrant managers in taking great chances. Consequontly companies playing in these cities to good houses this year are cither refus- ing to contract for next season or hes tate to enter upon negotiations. We, in common with our neighbors and the people of the const, are in imminent dunger of a denrth of good parforminces There is no good excuse for this either, except the arbitrary rulings of the Western Passenger association, Attempts to secur nable modifica- tions of the regulations in the interest of the larger companies have been bloeked. Local managers in ail these cities have been forced to pay larger and lavger percentages during the past fow yeurs, and u good part of the legiti- mate profits of both the theutrical com- panies and the managers huve found theiv way into the treasuries of the companies. East of Chicago there i no complaint. There isa positive d crimination against the people of the territory controlled by Mr. Finley’s association, with headquarters in Chi- cogo. The ultimate effect will not only be disastrous to our amusement man- agers and the companies, but will like wise react upon the railroads. Worso still, it will force o class of perform- ances into the theaters notup to the standard whicl the metropolitan chi acter of our cities and the culture of our people demand. Tho Western Passon- ger association is not winning frionds for the railways of which it is com- posed by its illiberal policy. The shrewdness of the passenger agents of this association is impeached by the excuse offored for refusing to malko parvy rates for theatrical companies. LIFE INS NCE INVESTMED Among the wmany interesting ted by President: Beers of the New York Life Insurance compauny to the policy holders, none are more instrue- tive than the exhibit he makes of rela- tive values of the company’s real estate investments ut home and abroad. These investments have been regarded as a drawback to the compauny’s prosperity and doubtleas have in some instanc disuppointed the expectations of the di- rectors, This is true chiefly of the superb aud costly buildings erected by the New York Life and other Americun insurance companies at Kuropean wapi- tals, where people are not yet educated upto the luxuries of a modern office buildiog. It will doubtless be wuny years before such structures can be made to ourn fair interest on their cost. The exhibit made by President Beers of the compuny s investments in the four progressive western cities—Omaha, St Paul, Minneapolis und Kansas City offers a wore hopeful prospect. While DAILY Bl the immediate income from these prop ertios is nof As romunerative as an in- vestment insmortgage loans would be, there is a véry faic prospect that they will in the 'ngdistant future swell the company’s diwidonds very materially. Tn fact, the Omaha building is already yiolding a very satisfactory percentage. Mr. Beers’ confidence in the future of | the west is wo'l founded, and his ideas | regarding the selection of sites for office buildings in our large western cities are eminently sbufid ard based on experi- ence. Mr. Beers pointedly and truthfully calls attention to the fact that the build- ings in these western citios were begun under normal conditions, but were com- ploted in a period of business depression: The buildings were located with a view to future developments of their respective cities. Any orie who has lobserved the rapid growth of tio west will appreciate the necessity of considering the future even more than the present in the location of aa offce building. Presont revenuo was, therefore, not so much of a consideration as that the buildings should be so located that the future may tend constantly to increase and not docreaso the ront-procuring power and walue of tho pro perty. Investments of this character are valuablo bboause the eloment of risk in in- vestment is practically eliminated. The money expended in this way isa fixed item fora very long period of years. The full wisdom or folly of such a transaction is de veloped only by time. Mr. Beors is equally correct when he declares that the only thoory on which these buildings can be rated as bad or even doubtful investments is one which discredits the future growth of the western state On this point thero can be but one rational conclusion. The greav west is still in its infancy. When its almosty unbounded resources are fully doveloped and when its rapidly growing commerce is focalized, Omaha, Kansas City, St Paul and Minneapolis are destined to rival if not distance Cineinnati, Cleve- land and St. Louis, and great oftico buildings in such population centers will always command fair returns on capital invested, - —_— CHOANCELLOR CANFIELD of the state university is announced for an address at the [Iirst Congregational church this ovening.

Chicago News (ind. dem.): 1In brief, the vindication of Governor oyd by the highest of oar courts is a tramph of common seuse ovor shallow trickery for partisau purposes, Chicago Post (dem.): Itis in the highest degreo satisfactory to_observe that among Governor's Bovd's political antagonists there is gencral satisfaction at the outcome of the case, (irand Island independent (rep.): Consid- ering the political complexion of the supreme court of the United States, thers can ve no charge of political bias in tho case of the Boyd decision. Columbus Telegram (dem.): It is doubtful if anything which the supreme court has it in its power to do could give as much saus- faction to as many people, as this rightful seating of the rightfully elected governor in his proper place. Fremont Herald (dem.): This final deci- sion will commend itself to every fair-minded man as an act of justice, outside of all logal considerations, as restoriug to his office a man who was undeniably elected. and only kept out of 1t by the meanest subterfuge of a vlace-hunting politician. Kansas City Times (dem.): If this do- cision arouses o sense of justice, so that hereaftor the wili of the peoplo as expressed av the polls may more certmuly prevail, Governor Bovd's wrongs will result in good to the country. He and his state are to be congratutated npon the outcome. Chicazo Inter Ocean (rep.): There was no doubt as to Boyd’s election. The point was as to his citizenship, and the supreme court holds that the constitution of Nebrasika mado all resionts of the territory citizens of This will settlo the status of ts in the newer states. Fremont ‘Pribune (rep.): The cquities in the case were allin Boyd’'s favor and this doubtless had weight with the court. Boyd had fully intended to become a citizen of the United States and was one for all intents and purposes. It may be that the judges, who aro only human, wore swayed by the equities. Liucoln Journal (rep.): Personally, Gover nor Boyd 15 in every way worthy of the ofice, and the racords shiow conclusively that ha was elected thereto, Haviug been decided to be a citizen of the stato and of the United States by tho highest court in the land, ail fzood peoplo will welcome him to the cap:tol and to the executive chair. Platismouth Journal (dem.): This tri- uinph is not all Boyd’s vistory. It will re suit in restoring to place and power the rgbtful claimant—the people’s choice—in YVindication of popular government and the overthrow of an unseem!y, not to say a vile, usurpation. In this all honest ana well meaning citizens rejoice, regardless of per- sonal or party prejudice. Chicago Herald (dem.): It is to the credit of the better class of republicans in Ne- braska that they have never eadorsed it (the state court decision) and that in the con- gratulatlons to Governor Boyd swnich will follow the generous formal acquicscence of the United States supreme court in its un- conventional decision, they will join with a nonpartisan and patriotic enthusiasm. York Times (rep. Mr. Boyd was elected governor. Ho received more votes any other candidate and there are a @ number of citizens of the state who from him in politics who will bo glal 10 o the will of the voters enforced. Boyd will probably make as good governor as any man. He gave evidence of this fact during the brief period in which ne occupied the gubernatorial chair. Sioux City Journal (rep.): jes of the overwholming majori of Nobraska people without regard to party have undoubtedly been with James IS, Boyd in tho litigation to determine his eligibility to the oftice of governor. While it has been a bhardship to Governor Boyd to be deprived 80 long of his office, the litigation has resulted in clearly sottling important points and in establishing satisfactory precedents which it was desirable should be done.
